Measures will be fully scrutinised by the OBR, but specifics are not being prejudged or anticipated at this time.

The regressive nature of inflation is acknowledged, with recent announcements targeted at those on lowest incomes. The Bank of England will act forcefully to restrain inflation expectations quickly for everyone's benefit.

The Government is cutting taxes, providing skills training, and reducing the taper rate on universal credit to increase hiring incentives. The unemployment rate has returned to pre-pandemic levels.

The hon. Member is correct that there will be an economic cost from sanctions, including higher energy bills and living costs, but it is a small price compared to the cost faced by Ukraine.

We expect waiting lists to rise before they fall due to 10 million people staying away during the pandemic. The NHS will increase activity with new ways and new funding. Integration between the NHS and social care is essential, detailed in last week's White Paper.

Agrees with the right hon. Friend's point on remembering the economic situation as a result of public health measures; notes that the shadow Chancellor had written to the Chancellor at the time, describing the loan scheme application process as cumbersome and calling for easier access.

Skills are at the heart of our wider work on levelling up, which is why £3.8 billion has been allocated throughout the course of this Parliament to make sure we get the right skills for the right people in the right sectors, so that we can grow the economy in the way that is needed.

My intention and goal over the rest of this Parliament is to reduce taxes, and we both know that the best way to create growth and prosperity in this country is to unleash the entrepreneurial innovation of our private businesses.

I look forward to working with my right hon. Friend. I have been along to the first board, although I have not yet chaired it. But we will be developing that action plan. I cannot commit to the date but I will let him know as soon as I can when we will publish the plan.

My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. Any eligible voter without required ID can apply for a free local voter card from their local authority. Northern Ireland has had an ID requirement since 1985, with photographic ID since 2003.

My right hon. Friend is right. I saw some of the comments made in yesterday's debate and, as I said last week, we recognise the strength of feeling and the concerns that people have. There is, understandably, a range of views on legacy, as it is a complex and sensitive issue. We are committed to further discussions, as I have already said, and we remain committed to many of the key principles laid out in the Stormont House agreement. To come to the core of my right hon. Friend's question, the Stormont House agreement was in 2014. We are seven years on, and it has not been deliverable in its current format.

Last week, in this Chamber, I set out proposals for addressing the legacy of the troubles, which will focus on reconciliation, delivering better outcomes for victims, and ending the cycle of investigations that is not working for anyone. These proposals will be considered as part of the ongoing talks process with the Northern Ireland parties, the Irish Government and representatives across Northern Ireland society, further to which we will bring forward legislation.

First, my right hon. Friend is right to bring to the House's attention the way that the Government are also working on social care for working-age people. He is also right to point out that around 55% of total adult social care spending is for working-age adults and it is important that we continue to provide that support. I am working with the current Chancellor and other Cabinet colleagues on bringing forward a more sustainable long-term plan.

I absolutely agree with my right hon. Friend. The vaccine programme has been a huge success, and it was UK-wide procurement delivering vaccines on a UK-wide basis.

First, a single dose of the Pfizer or AstraZeneca jab offers protection of 75% to 85% against hospitalisation, while two doses of Pfizer indicate 90% to 95% effectiveness against hospitalisation and 95% to 99% effectiveness at preventing death. However, regarding the delta variant, there is no conclusive figure yet as it is being worked on by Public Health England and should be available in a couple of weeks.

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend. We need to take a zero tolerance approach here in order to deal with wider criminality. This includes looking at the nature of the black market that exists and the rises we have seen with regard to the value of individual animals.

I recognise the deep distress that the theft of a much-loved pet can cause, which is why laws are already in place to deal with offenders who commit such abhorrent crimes. The Environment Secretary, the Home Secretary and I have had discussions to consider further action. A taskforce has been set up to investigate and tackle this issue from end to end, looking at prevention, reporting, enforcement and prosecution.

The right hon. Gentleman makes a good point. At the heart of our approach is our determination to ensure that trade flows freely, so that businesses trading in and with Northern Ireland can continue to trade properly. We will make full use of the provisions in the protocol to deliver on that, and we will continue to discuss this with the European Union. As I say, there are still issues that we are discussing as part of the free trade agreement and through the specialist Joint Committee, but we will ensure that all the commitments made by myself, the Prime Minister and other colleagues at the Dispatch Box are delivered through a slimmed-down Finance Bill later this year.

My right hon. Friend makes a good point. There is a difference with businesses in Great Britain trading with Northern Ireland. We are determined to give them the certainty that they want and need. That is an important part of delivering on the protocol, which says that it “should impact as little as possible on the everyday life of communities”. That means ensuring good free trade. The protocol makes it clear that there will be some changes for goods movements into Northern Ireland from Great Britain. We are consulting businesses in Northern Ireland and working with our partners in the European Union to deliver on that, and there will be a slimmed-down Finance Bill that includes all the commitments we have made to the people of Northern Ireland that are outstanding at that point.

I pay tribute to my right hon. Friend for that event. I saw the read out and how positive it had been. He is right to focus on that forward piece, using the package of measures that my right hon. Friend set out. That includes, for example, the payment to employers for each new apprenticeship—up to £2,000 for those over 25—the £2 billion kickstart scheme, but also other schemes such as the tripling in the number of traineeships.

The Government have put in place a £190 billion plan to protect people's jobs, incomes and businesses, one of the largest and most comprehensive economic responses in the world, and that includes the £30 billion made available under the plan for jobs.

I regularly discuss with the Welsh Government about their lockdown measures' impact on employment. I want tourists to be welcomed in Wales and look forward to reopening tourism to save 160,000 jobs.

Brandon Lewis confirms that Northern Ireland businesses will have unfettered access to the UK market and across GB, stressing this commitment publicly and emphasising delivery before the end of the year.

We are closely examining targeted support measures for disadvantaged students while schools remain closed or partially reopen. This includes considering supplementary learning options during weekends and summer breaks, exploring partnerships with organisations to offer additional resources, and enhancing remote education provision through online academies and media collaborations.
